The latest Israeli air strikes targeted several areas in southern Lebanon and Beqaa valley, located east of the country.
The ministry of health reported that the death toll has risen to at least 18 since Israel began its attacks early on Friday. More than 33 others have also been wounded as a result.
"I told the Prime Minister, even in our private meetings: For every tear of an Israeli mother, a thousand Lebanese mothers must weep," Ben-Gvir wrote on X/Twitter.
Col. S. commands "Nahalat Binyamin," the codename for the Israeli Air Force unit that plans and builds all of the Air Force's strike operations across the Middle East and, when necessary, anywhere.
The military revealed that one of the soldiers was Lieutenant-Colonel Dor Gedalia Ben Simhon, aged 32, from Beit HaShita, the commander of the 52nd Battalion, 401st Brigade.
The poll suggests growing voter dissatisfaction with both Likud and Bennett's alliance, with Eisenkot's Yashar emerging as a major beneficiary and the opposition regaining a potential majority.
